- Description
- The Forest Service is in need of conifer seed used to restore and reforest National Forest lands and for Tree Improvement genetic testing. The purpose of this solicitation is to secure commercial services for the harvest of mature seed cones in areas prescribed by the terms of this contract. Work will be performed on the Clarks Fork, Wapiti, Greybull, Wind River, and Washakie Districts of the Shoshone National Forest; the Powder River, Medicine Wheel/Paintrock and Tongue Districts of the Bighorn National Forest, the Hell Canyon, Mystic, and Northern Hills Districts of the Black Hills National Forest, and the Pine Ridge District of the Nebraska National Forest. The Forest Service will identify cone lot areas for Engelmann spruce, Douglas-fir, lodgepole pine, and limber pine general collections; the Contractor shall be responsible for surveying and identifying trees for general cone collections. General collections may occur on timber sales where trees have been felled but not yet skid on the Bighorn and Shoshone. Trees for whitebark pine (WBP) tree improvement (TI) have been previously selected. Trees for limber pine TI have not been selected, but will be during the life of this contract. For Black Hills ponderosa pine, the Forest Service will identify cone lots and would be responsible for surveying and identifying trees for general cone collection. Collections will occur on timber sales where trees have been felled but not yet skid. For Nebraska, the Pine Ridge is located within one seed zone, but the Forest Service may identify separate cone lots depending on collection locations; the Contractor shall be responsible for surveying and identifying trees for general cone collections, unless in timber sales. When possible, collections may occur in timber sales areas where trees have been felled, but not yet skid. Otherwise trees may still be standing and require climbing or other means of collection. The contractor shall furnish all labor, equipment, supervision, transportation, supplies (except those designated as Government furnished) and incidentals to perform all work necessary to select trees (if required) and to pick, bag, label, and deliver cones to the delivery point.
